Special Cor. of the CHAMPION.
 PREscoTT, A. T., Feb. 3d, 1887.
 For the benefit of the readers of the CHAMPION, short account IS pub lished of inc life and appearance of the Gila county delegation, who rave done so much to assist us, as cham pions of the Frisco county cause.
 W. C. wkrKiEs.
 Gap. Watkins, as he is known by every man, woman and child in Pres colt, is the joint councilman from the southern district of Arizona. He IS one of the very few members ot tse "Bloody Thirteenth"and his farewell address to some of the tricky mem bers casting them in the grave of po- litical obs2urity, gave him1 a reputa- ton that will always be remembered here. He is a tall, stout, sandy com : plexioned man, forty-hve years of age, with one arm, (the other being lost at the battle of perryville). His home is at Tonto, Gila county, where he is engaged as storekeeper. stock raiser and lawyer. He is a fluent speaker, and has kindly consented to champion the Frisco county bill when it reaches the council. His remarks are sometimes delivered in somew hat homeiy grammar, but his expressions certainly denote strong mind. On the day the council convened 1t became necessary to elect some one as chaplain. MT. Watkins immediately placed in nomination George D. Mealy, a salvation army scout, apoor harmless, half demented fellow, who had been holding revival meetings on the streets of Prescott for several days, and made by all odds the master speech of the session in his behalf. During his remarks he sad: Any man can come into finely finished church, bedecked with flowers wearing fine clothes, a full stomach, and gloved hand, and offer up prayer for our salvation, but this poor man, ragged and perhaps hungry. kneels down on the dust of your streets, and amid the jeers of the rabble offers up prayer fer your soul and mine. Among many things he said "There are many peo- pie who mix their religion with their business, but they don't stir it up well. The business invariably rises to the top." Also: "There are many people who have got great deal more religion than common sense.

 A. l. Gabriel, of Chicago, passed through Flagstaff this week in charge of about two hundred excursionists from Chicago and Kansas City. The party were bound for Los Angeles, thence to San Francesca and return by the U. P. road. MT. Gabriel is an enterprising business man and seemed to be a great favorite with the two hundred charming ladies and in- telligent gentlemen vnder his charge. The train laid over here for about an hour, and gave the excurslsnistsian opportunity to see our prosperous town and the beautiful country sur rounding it.
 Mrs. Michael B. Brannen died at the residence of P. J. Brannen on Wednesday morning last. Ms. Bran nen, who was in her S9th year, was the mother of P. J., M. J., and Joseph Brannen also of Misses Maggie and Kate Branneu of this town. She was born in Canada where she lived until about a year ago, when she went to visit daughter in Illinois and from there came to. Flagstaff in September last to reside with her son and iamily. Mrs. Braaaen suffered for more than ten years from chrome bronchitis and that disease caused her death. The funeral took place from the home of MT. P. l. Brannen on Friday morn ing, Father Gubitossi, of Prescott, officiating.
 Capt. B. B. Bulwinkle, gene raj manager of the Arizona Cattle Com p,ny, shipped yesterday frsm thi, psiat 200 head of beef cattle, which averaged I,Iso pounds per head, to Chss. Gassen, the wholesale dressed beef dealer Of Los Angeles. This is the champion shipment from this sec ton of the country. The co ndition of the animals las shown by their av- craze ueisht) was splendid for this season oi the year. They were gath cred from different par1s of the range during the last week. AS corrabor- ation of the oft repeated fact that l, pays to raise we'll bred stock, the price obtained for these cattle was 75 cents per hundred pounds more than has been obtalned before by any shipper from this place. There is plenty more of the same kind of beef at the com. pany's range.

 substitute for common sense. Again, "The days of miracles and martyrdom are over, patent rights have taken the place of miracles, and live men the place of dead ones" The people were most fortunate 10 secure the aid of so able man, and Captain Wat kins will always hold warm place in the grateful heart of the citizens oi Frisco county for what he has done for them.
 PETER c. ROBERTSON.
 P. C. Robertson, councilman from Gila county, is venerable looking, slight built man with gray hair and beard. He was born in Illinois fifty years ago, but looks older. His home is at Cutalpa, Arizona, where he fol. lows the business of merchant and farmer. He has held many positions of trust and was a member of the California legislature in TT He is one of the recognized leaders of the democratic party in Glla and has served his county as chairman of the board of supervisors. He is a good speaker and his quiet, gentlemanly manner has great weight in the body of which he IS now a member. He will support the Frisco county meas ure and has already given us much as, sistance, ioriwhich we poor creatures, in our lowly condition, can only cx press our gratitude.
 EUGENE l. TRIPPEL.
 Eugene J. Trippel, the assemblymar from Gila county, was born in Ten nessee in 1861. He is short, heavy set young man and one of the brigh test members in the house. His home is at Globe. He is the son of Dr Alex Trippel, one of the most re nowned memory men on the Pacific Coast and the present superintendent of the Old Dominion Mining Co. with whom the younger Trippel has fol several years held responsible posi- tions. He is very popular here and must also be in home where he re. ceived majority of Ior votes, while his adversary boiled only IS4. Hi, plurality being the largest in Gila county on either ticket, where several ran without opponents. Mir. Trippel has assis'edMr. .Ashurst greatly with his bill and as much is due to him as to any one man for the success the Frisco county measure has attained in the assembly. On behalf of our people we sincerely thank him.
 0. c. HILTON.
 Our County Representative O. C. Feltno place in the ranks of the Gila county delegation, for, although he is a member from southern Yava- pal, he IS straining every nerve with good effect to have his portion of the county given to Gila and he is as much of member of our little sister county as my one here. He is chair man of the committee on counties and county boundaries and was in a posi- sition to help us materially, which he did. MT. Felton is an "OlI Hasa. yamper," his home is at Wild Rye, where he is engaged in stock raising and mining. He is a good looking and good natured man, about forty years Si age, the last of the Gila county delegation, but not least Tn the affections of our future Frisco county people, who (of course, in- cluding our good old standby mem- Der Ashurst) will always be remem- bered from the bottom Of our hearts. for their kind and gallant actions in Srasping us from the tenacious arms ol "Old Yavapai."

An Indians Idea OF Greatness.

Every year during the autumn month,
a huge "sweat"- "-hOlst was erected, and
the Inhabitants of all the surrounding
Indian villages were invited to attend.
Every crcvice in the covering of this swell
tering hole which would pe:mit the en-
trance of a breath of air was carefully
closed, and after Il sumptuous feast, con-
sistinc of acorn soup and venison, the
bucks, with Jack at their head, would
crawl lilo this sitting hole, in the centre
of which burned hot fire. Around the
blaze the naked savases danced wierdly
until the heat became so intense that
each one, sooner or later. fell to the
ground exhausted. Then came the test
of endurance which was to develop the
greatest man of the party, The victor
was the one who could broil the longest
and live. They would form into two
sections and arrange themselves at full
length, face downward, on either side OF
the fire, with their noses rooted 10 the
ground. Occasionally stalwart buck
would stand erect and with his blanket
fan the flame over IN the direction Of the
other party. Then he would subsl.lc
and undergo similar treatment until the
heat became unendurable even to an n
dian, and they would crawl out one Dy
one more dead than alive, break the ICE
in an adjacent creek and plunge in. The
last one to emerge from this verl'aDle
furnace was invariably Captain Jack, anG
he was crowned and crowned again with
all the honors that his Indian subjects
could pestow.-San Francisco Call.

Prospective Heiress Of $4,000, 900

A bright-eyed little girl, with pretty
face, pranced through one of the halls of
the Windsor this morning, with nurse
following closely on her trail. Anumber
of other bright-looking little children
who saw her pass, regarded erwith con-
siderably more than casual interest.
Still there was nothing remarkable in the
little tots appearance. When hand
some 6-year-old boy said to his little sis
ter, "There goes the hciress," as he
poiG ed to the girl, he explained the
reasoi of her unusual interest. The
child had only been at the hotel two
day., but all the children in the hostelry
had been told that she was one of the
richest children in the world. The little
girl is the only child of Senor Jose
Hidalgo one Of the wealthicst citizens of
Cuba. Aside from the fathers wealth,
the child is heir to over $4,000, 600.
This will 60 to her at the death of her
grandmother, Scnor Hida'go's mother.
The grandfather was one of the
wealthiest planters and cigar manufact-
urers in Cuba, ard left an estate worth
nearly $4,000, 900, which vas divided
between mis- wife and only son. The SON
has more than doubled his portion since
the death of his father, so that at the
present time the little girl is prospective
heir to over $4,000, 00O.-Nea0 York

Experimental Surgery in the City
Hospitals.

1 was talking the other day with q
young physician, who, after graduating,
spent couple of years attached to the
staff of big city hospital. This is quite
common practice with our developing
doctors, the posts furnishing them with
ample opportunities for experience, and
affording them a living, though they
gain no money by them. My acquaint-
ance in this instance remarked:
''It would make your eyes open to wit
ness the extent to whi' h experimental
surgery and medicine are carried in hos
pitfalls. Since have been practing for
myself have often wondered what luck
a physician would have who risked such
chances as we used to take at the Saw
-Lcg-Off Hospital. The cases are
safe enough when they get into the
hands of the older physicians, but the
youngsters rarely stop at any exper ment,
however alarming it may be-. II they
conceive it to be possible OF accom-
plishment. That they do not do more
damage IS to be ascrined rather to their
patients luck than their own credit. l
don't mean to say that they are cruelty
reckless. They simply look ON the hsrd
work of the hospital as an excuse tor
accumulating knowledge and gam
ing skill, and they work it out
on this basis, with only second thought
for the patients themselves"
Considering how often charges OF
needless mntilation and surgical violence
have b en- brought against the hospitals
and denied, this testimony from one who
has been there ought to be of interest. -

Washington'S First Love.

During the years before his brother
Lawrence s death George resided mainly
at Mont Vernon, and upon the wooded
hillside, his first sentimental passion was
experienced. He sighed for his "lowland
beauty" as, in after days in colder
cline, he sighed for charming Mary
Phillips. lie wrote rhymes, wherein his
"poor restless heart, wounded by Cupid's
DART" played a prominent part: ia
went accounting, as the good Virginia
phrase hath it, to the Cary houses at
Ceelys and Rich Neck, and at the shrine
of that famed colonial belle, Miss Sally,
laid the Offering of his noble heart aud
name. Miss Cary refused him, to marry
his friend George William Fairfax. Long
aftcrward, upon her death in Bath, Eng
land, her husbands heirs in Virginia
found among her papers, letters address
cd to her by Washington, containing
frank acknowledgement that his diSap'
pointmcnt in not securing her as his wife
had seriously affected the happiness OF
his life. That these letters should be
kept secret in the family inhcritng them
was decided by its head. For nearly
century they have been handed down,
and are here mentioned simply as IL SIDE

Jenny Lind's Home Life.

The daily life of Jenny Lind in London
was extremely simple. Every morning
at 30 o'clock there were family prayers.
At these not only her husband, Mr..
Goldschmidt, and her three children, but
the servants assisted. When breakfast
was over she habitually retired to hcl
room on the Sc ond floor, and, seated al
her writing desk, opened and answered
her numerous letters. Her room, which
looked out on a beautiful garden, wa!
simply furnished. The most notable
piece If furniture in it was large screen,
which had pasted over its entire surface
newspaper clippings from all parts OF the
world ealogistic of the great singer.
Next to Jenny Lind's room, connected
by door covered with portieres, was tht
room of her husband. In it stood q granc
piano. and often Mr.. Goldschmidt played
on this instrument at night until hi
wife. who was nervous at times, was by
his performance lulled to sleep. The
family sat down to lunch at l o'clock.
Jenny Lind was a moderate eater anc
fond of simple cuisine. In the afternoon
she took a walk when the weather wa!
fine, and, purse in hand, distributed aims
to the poor whom she met. When she
came home she taught her select circle Of
pupils, and at ! she sat down to dinner
She never went to theatres, balls OF
opcras. She went to hear Patti sing once,
but she left the hall before the perform.

act but she couldn't sing. She was
rather sensitive on the subj lect OF
her rivals. She was at a reception one
night at which Nilsson was also present.

marked one of Christine's admirers,
pointing her out in the crush TO friend.
tsNo, / am the Nightingale" inter
ruptcd Jenny Lind, who overheard the
remark. In the evening her home life
was exceedingly uniform. She read re-
lieious books, painted, or read Shake.
speale or Goethe or Schiller. She did
not care for the newspapers. She dis.
liked the French, although she generally
spoke their language when conyers!ng
with foreigners. Her souvenirs ol
America were pleasant. Bach was hel
favorite composer. She also esteemed
Handel, Mozart, Gluck and Mendelssohn.
Twice year she gave concerts, at whlcE
the aristocracy of England were proud
to be present.
She liked to read aloud in the evening,
or she chattcd about her triumphs to hel
favorie pupils. Though she possessed
magnificent jewels she never wore them.
She was cxte dinghy fond of her hus.

times, and she always said that 1t was

his old friends, whom we will call Ike,
being afflicted with severe coughing
cold, Uncle John used his best efforts IN
argument, persuasion, and finally We

to try the remedy. But Ike could not DC

this Uncle John caught hard cold him,
self, which was accompanied by most
distressing cough that shook his poor oid
frame numerically. 1t did not, however,
prevent his coming downtown amt

The cold hung on for a week or more,
and the cough had grown no better.
Fina ly one day Ike resolved to brave
Uncle Johns sharp tongue and tease INN
a little about his failure to rid himself OF
the cold, and the following dialogue en-
